Chapter86 unfreeze acct
Ben someone is here to see you."
Ben got up to see who is was.
"Hello ben, how are you doing?"
"Am not doing fine, did Ken ask
you to come here"?
"Yes,"
"So he knows am innocent, yet
he kept me here for one week now."
"Ben we are talking about murder
case here, there was nothing ken
could have done"
"He was the one who ask them
to keep me here".
"Am not here to talk about ken,
am here to ask if you need my help?"
"I need the help of anyone who
can get me out of here".
"Good, then you need to
co-operate with me, that is the
only way I can help you".
"So what do you want"? Ben ask
the lawyer.
"I want to know the whole truth."
"Which is?"
"Did you kill your father"?
"Hahahah, ben laugh, is that a
question"?
"Yes, the lawyer said looking
at ben with this look that said
“are you ok?” am asking you so
I know how to defend you in court".
" Well, Mr. lawyer, I did not kill
anyone, am here because my
brother hate me and wants me
to rot in jail, that has been his
plan form day one".
"Well if you ask me, I will say that
is not true because if he wants
you to rot in jail he would not
have come to me to help you
out of here".
'Ben kept quiet
"So what did you say? Should
we continue with this"?
"Yes", ben reluctantly answered
the lawyer.
"Good, so let’s do this one more
time, and I want you to tell me he
whole truth and nothing but the
truth so I know how to defend
you in court".
"You have said that before" ben
answer.
"Ok, do you have a hand in the
murder of Mr. Jackson"?
"No"
"But you were found hanging
around the lady who they saw
had a hand in the murder of your
father Miss Victoria".
"Yes, I know her."
"What was your relationship
with her"?
"I don’t have any relationship
with Victoria what kind of
question is that"?
"Calm down Mr. Ben I need to
know the truth."
'And I have told you the truth".
"Ok, what business do you have
with Miss victoria"?
Ben was not willing to answer
the question.
"I don’t have any business
with her".
"You just admit to knowing her
and she is said to have kill your
father, do you think that the law
will let you go just like that"?
"I ask her to do something for
me, not to kill my father."
"What is that thing you wanted
her to do for you"? Mr. ben.
"It is personal ok, I can’t tell
you that".
Ben was afraid that ken will
get to know that he was the one
who plated victoria in his life
not knowing that she has her
own plan which lead to the
death of his father, maybe is
true, maybe he is the one who
kill his father, but how could
he admit to have killed his own
father? No, am not going to
say anything.
"Mr. Ben I may have to leave
since you are not ready". The
lawyer got up to leave while
the police takes ben back to
the cell.
"How did it go lawyer? Ken was
in the lawyer’s office early the
next morning".
"Ben was still proving stubborn,
he won’t answer my question,
and I don’t want to go to the
court and start finding out
things that I don’t know anything
about. that will be
unprofessional of me".
"I understand, ken said, any way
is there anything I will do to help"?
"Well, you can just talk to your
brother, tell him to comply so
we can get it over with".
"Ok, I will try, let me go and
see him."
"Ben someone is here to see
you."
"Want is happening this days
people always coming to see
me? I hope is not some body
I don’t want to see"?
"I don’t know, come and see for
yourself", the officer said, treating
him with respect because he
always give them money.
"I said it, the devil is here, ben
murmured when he saw ken."
"What do you want"? He ask.
"Am here to talk to you man
to man."
"And you think you are a
man now? Because am inside
this cell? Wait until I come out?"
"Am not here to fight with you,
am here to help you come out".
"I don’t need your help, I just
wish you were the one who died".
"Since am not the one who
died what do you want to do?"
Ken ask him.
"Get out of this place I don’t
need you here, go with your help".
"Fine, am leaving but don’t say
I didn’t try to help."
"I don’t need it."
Ken went back worried, what
will I do? The company needs
help, the partners are becoming
impatient every day that pass
by, and ben is proving stubborn,
and is not good to file for
bankruptcy.
"What can I do?"
"Hey dear, what is the problem"?
Gina ask her husband.
"Ben refuse to comply and the
partners are becoming impatient
what do I do"?
"On a second thought Gina
said, Ben is still withdrawing
money from the company’s
account, we need to do
something about that".
"That is right."
"Yes, if we cut him off, he will
have no option but to comply."
"What?, I need to see my mother?
Ben keep shouting at the police
station.
"My friend will you keep quite?
Did you think you are in your
house? Shut up or I shout it for you.
The officers started to become
unfriendly to him because
there was no more money to
give to them.
"Please I just need to talk to
my mother."
One of the officer walk to ben,
"five thousand naira or nothing".
"Fine, I will give it to you once
my mother arrival."
"Ok, he hand the phone to ben."
"Hello mom, please I need
you at the police station,
something bad is happening."
"What? What is going on are
you ok?"
"Yes am ok, but something
is happening, please come, and
come with money too."
"Ok, I will be there."
"What is happening ben?, you
sound as if there are killing you,
but you are ok."
"Yes, but ken has cut me off,"
"Off from what?"
"My money, there are no money
in my credit cards anymore,
mom please do something or I
will die here."
"Never! you will not die here, I
have been running around to
get you a good lawyer."
"Have you see one yet?"
"Yes I have"
"Ok thank mom, because the
family lawyer came here that ken
send him to help me out, but I
don’t need his help."
"But why, he is a professional
lawyer, he can get you out, I will
go and see him, I almost forgot
about him, as I leave here am
going to see him in his office."
"Fine but before you leave I
need money."
"No problem"
"And tell ken to restore back
my card."
"I will" .
"Welcome Mrs. Jackson".
"Thank you lawyer, am here in
respect of my son ben."
"I know, I have even gone there
to try and help him but he refuses
my help."
"He told me, and that is why
am here, you see Mr. lawyer, you
don’t have to take everything
that boy say to heart, I know my
son, he is so stubborn to a fault.
He really need your help."
"Hmmm, so is he ready to talk
now?"
"Yes he is ready."
"Ok, I will visit him tomorrow
on my way back from the court."
"Ok, thank you very much."
"You are welcome."
Getting home ben’s mother
went straight to ken.
"You this boy, who gave you
the authority to cut of my son’s
credit card."
"The company needs money
and we at this time cannot
afford the lavish way of
spending which ben is spending
money at this time so the
company decide to cut down
on all expenses."
"Says who? Says you right?
You are now the company right?
You are biting more than you can
chew. Don’t let me show you
who I am".
"Please ma, you need to
understand."
"Shout up that thing you call
mouth, all this money is my
husband's money and they all
belong to Ben, so you have no
right to take what belongs to him.
And that is why am asking you
to unfreeze his account now".
"And what is going on here?" Tina
walk out of her room.
"Tell your gold digger of a son
to unfreeze my sons account
now or the sky will fall down
right now".
"Why did you freeze ben’s
account?" ken’s mother ask him.
"Because he is using too much
money from the company
account."
"Is it your money"? Ben mom’s
ask.
"Is all of us money, but only ben
is using it as he likes".
"Because is his money, now
unfreeze that account."
"Don’t worry he will unfreeze it
ken’s mother told Grace so that
peace can reign"
